[B]Last week, we read about the rare NES video game that went for more than $13,000 on eBay. This week, we get another game related eBay auction, but for considerably less money.[/B]

A St. Peteresburg, Fla., woman put up an unopened box of the [URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300397017266&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D300397017266%26_in_kw%3D1%26_ex_kw%3D%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_okw%3D300397017266%26_oexkw%3D%26_udlo%3D%26_udhi%3D%26_ftrt%3D901%26_ftrv%3D1%26_sabdlo%3D%26_sabdhi%3D%26_samilow%3D%26_samihi%3D%26_sadis%3D200%26_fpos%3DZip%2Bcode%26_fsct%3D%26LH_SALE_CURRENCY%3D0%26_sop%3D1%26_dmd%3D1%26_ipg%3D50%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1]Nintendo Cereal System[/URL], a limited edition cereal concocted by Nintendo and Ralston. The auction garnered 22 bids, with the bid starting at $20 on Feb. 13. A week later, when the auction closed, the bid was $207.50.

From the auction description:

[INDENT]THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NINTENDO CEREAL SYSTEM FROM 1988 WITH TWO DIFFERENT CEREALS IN IT, SUPER MARIO BROS ACTION SERIES AND ZELDA ADVENTURE SERIES.

COMPLETLY SEALED IN THE BOX. IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR BEING A 22 YEAR OLD THIN CARDBOARD BOX. ONLY ONE DISCLAIMER IT WOULD NOT BE WISE TO EAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOX EVEN THOUGH I NO YOU WILL WANT TO. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT MENY TIMES MY SELF.[/INDENT] The fruity Super Mario Bros. cereal side included Marios, Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Bowsers and Mushrooms. The berry Zelda side contained Links, Hearts, Keys, Boomerangs and Shields.
